Another lackluster performance has Billy Napier headed to the unemployment line.
Billy Napier might be fired before the weekend is over.
After another disappointing loss at home on Saturday, Napier isn’t just on the hot seat ; that seat has been burned to the ground.
On Saturday, fans showed their displeasure by booing and then starting to leave in the third quarter.
In Napier’s post-game press conference, when asked about the booing, he said:
“Ultimately, you play a certain way in this arena, you’re going to be criticized. This is one of those places where there is history, tradition, and expectations.”
He has a $28.3 million buyout, but for a program with high expectations and a team headed nowhere, the school might just pay that to send him packing and start over .
It’s crazy to think they gave him a seven-year, $51.8 million contract, signed in 2021. Florida has only itself to blame for being in this position—overpaying for a mediocre coach will always lead to this. This is nothing new for the Florida program.
